Building off Kos' front page entry here, I'd like to see the Dkos poll results on who is preferred as potential VP running mate for Obama. (It's early, I know, but why not?)
Below is the list of suggested names I collated from Kos' entry and the comments. It's a partial list, for sure, but covers the most popular ones, I believe. Let me know if there are any I left off.
So, what are you waiting for? Vote!
Full disclosure: I'd love it to be Richardson. I think his foreign policy experience would be a perfect balance for Obama. And of course, the appeal to Latinos. What a double bill for the Democrats!
On the other hand, after reading the diaries here over the last few days, I'm beginning to wonder if a female running mate is the only way to assuage hard-core Clinton supporters. If having a female candidate is the most important thing to them, maybe it's the only way Obama could get their vote.
Or, does he need a white male to appeal to the mainstream? Clark obviously brings military credibility. Dodd seems like a great guy, but personally doesn't do much for me. (No flames, please! We're all friends here!)
So, your thoughts?
